We’re going to look at magnets for a bit.  The Physics Kahuna is absolutely convinced that all of his

1. SQUID: Superconducting Quantum Interference Device

(Adapted from the Mr. Squid Manual (Star Cryotronics) by Jerry Gollub, with updates by Suzanne Amador Kane 5/2005)

We are used to thinking of quantum mechanics as a way of understanding the properties of small things:  atoms, nuclei, etc.   By contrast, the macroscopic world often follows the classical laws of Newtonian mechanics.  The reason for this classical behavior on the macroscopic scale is that the quantum phases of the complex wavefunctions of different atoms are unrelated and can vary in

Episode 129: Discharge of a capacitor: Q = Q_oe^-t/CR  

Students will have already seen that the discharge is not a steady process (Episode 125), but it is useful to have graphical evidence before discussing the theory.

You need to build up your students’ understanding of exponential processes, through experiments, and through graphical and algebraic approaches, all related to the underlying physical processes
